Answer: x=-14

Step-by-step explanation:

Get rid of parentheses: -2x-5-23=0

Add all the numbers together, and all the variables: -2x-28=0

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right:

-2x=28

x=28/-2

x=-14

14. Given: 5x + 4y = 24, x + 7y= 11; Prove: y= 1<br> Statements<br> reasons
Semenov [28]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the process of elimination as

5x + 4y = 24

5(x + 7y = 11) —>          5x + 35y = 55

5x + 4y = 24

-(5x + 35y = 55)

—————————

-31y = -31

-31y/-31 = -31/-31

y=1

Ricky can ride 17 km on his bike in the same length of time ha can walk 9 km.if his riding speed is 4 kph faster than his walkin
aivan3 [116]
Distance=speed times time
if they take the same time, we cal the time , t

b=bike speed
w=walking speed

bikedistnace=17=bt
walkdistance=9=wt

b is 4 more than w
b=4+w

we have
17=bt
9=wt
b=4w

ok so
multiply first equation by 9 and 2nd by 17

153=9bt
153=17wt
set equal
9bt=17wt
divide both sides by t
9b=17w
sub b=4+w for b
9(4+w)=17w
distribute
36+9w=17w
minus 9w both sides
36=8w
divide both sides by 8
4.5=w

he walks 4.5kph
